Allegiant⁹^{(ex 6)}

Age: 3| Weight: 9-13| J: S De Sousa| T: S C Williams| OR: 65

8/13

Returned from a long absence to make-all at Epsom on handicap debut last time. Up 6lb but his style of running suits here and Silvestre De Sousa keeps the faith. Major player once more.

Form: 0-551

Barrsbrook²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: H Crouch| T: G & J Moore| OR: 65

16/1

Was running consistently well off this sort of mark prior to bombing out here over C&D last time. Needs to bounce back but more than capable for local yard that won a division of this race in 2016.

Narjes^h²²

Age: 4| Weight: 9-10| J: Sophie Ralston⁽⁷⁾| T: Mrs L J Mongan| OR: 65| BF| CD

5/1

Winner over C&D three starts back off a 6lb lower mark and has run two sound races since. Clearly thriving at present and every reason to believe she will go well again.

Form: 424122

Topmeup^b¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-8| J: Josephine Gordon| T: Miss Gay Kelleway| OR: 63| D

16/1

Won back-to-back races at Yarmouth earlier in the summer. Right back to for at Leicester last time and this track suits. Sure to be running on late and place claims at least.

Fieldsman¹¹

Age: 6| Weight: 9-7| J: Tom Marquand| T: D C Griffiths| OR: 62| C

20/1

31 starts since his last victory tells a story. Well held at Newcastle last time and needs to bounce right back to his best to be involved here.

Military Madame⁴¹

Age: 3| Weight: 9-5| J: David Probert| T: J & S Quinn| OR: 63| D

12/1

Winner at Musselburgh (1m, good to firm) three starts back. Went very close back there over a furlong further last time and should be in the mix once more.

Form: 8-36182

Comporta³³

Age: 3| Weight: 9-4| J: S Donohoe| T: I Mohammed| OR: 62| BF| D

10/1

Front-runner who has been in good form of late winning at Yarmouth and going close at Chepstow. This track should suit and yard won a division of this race in 2016.

Form: 759133

Junoesque^p¹⁵

Age: 4| Weight: 9-4| J: Charlie Bennett| T: J Gallagher| OR: 59| CD

16/1

Twice a C&D winner latest coming in August. Nowhere near that level of form elsewhere since but a return to this venue is a plus and only 3lb higher than for last win.

Form: 163176

Limerick Lord^p⁴³

Age: 6| Weight: 9-2| J: Shelley Birkett⁽³⁾| T: Miss J Feilden| OR: 57| BF| D

33/1

A regular here and always tends to run his race but hasn't looked like winning of late. Should give it a good effort once again but likely to find one or two too good.

Form: 433333

Live Dangerously^p²²

Age: 8| Weight: 8-12| J: K T O'Neill| T: J J Bridger| OR: 53| CD

50/1

In good form earlier this year winning twice over 7f here in the spring. Not as good since but mark is only 1lb higher than for the last of those wins so not discounted.

Form: 911068

Solveig's Song^b²²

Age: 6| Weight: 8-11| J: Edward Greatrex| T: S Woodman| OR: 52| CD

33/1

Impressed when winning by 3L over C&D on good-to-firm ground last month. not quite upto that level the last twice but more than capable of being involved on a going day.

Form: 586128

Malaysian Boleh^b,e/s¹⁰

Age: 8| Weight: 8-10| J: Nicola Currie⁽³⁾| T: P S McEntee| OR: 51| C

25/1

Bounced back to form the last twice at Chelmsford finishing close-up on both occasions. Has won here in the past and wouldn't have to improve too much to have a major say back on turf.

Form: 909924

Dawn Of Reckoning^h²²

Age: 3| Weight: 8-4| J: Thore Hammer-Hansen⁽⁷⁾| T: W G M Turner| OR: 48

100/1

Yet to reach a place in nine starts at up to 1m4f. Beaten a long way over further here last time and now takes a huge drop in trip.

Form: 500090

Forecasts

Allegiant (8/13), Narjes (5/1), Comporta (10/1), Military Madame (12/1), Barrsbrook (16/1), Junoesque (16/1), Topmeup (16/1), Fieldsman (20/1), Malaysian Boleh (25/1), Limerick Lord (33/1), Solveig's Song (33/1), Live Dangerously (50/1), Dawn Of Reckoning (100/1)

ALLEGIANT looked an improved animal on the return from a break last time and there could be plenty more to come from him. Topmeup will be running on at the finish and could be dangerous. Comporta should appreciate this return to turf and could play a part for his yard that won a division of this in 2016.
